Slightly ambiguous ending
I enjoyed this drama from beginning to end. Lonely arrogant dragon demon on a path to immortality makes the mistake of trusting and befriending the power hungry manipulative immortal of fate. He meets his destiny, but experiences road block after road block, but manages to make new friends who are true to the end.
Longyan Yuchi, only surviving member of his dragon clan, is accidentally in the wrong place at the wrong time and is falsely accused of stealing a powerful ancient artifact, for which he is tried and convicted by the idiot on the heavenly emperor's throne without investigating the so called crime After a thousand years of lightening strikes, a punishment even most immortal beings could not survive, he is released and falls, injured into the mortal world. It is his lucky day as he meets a kind young woman, Luiying, who has some medical skills, who mistakes him for a small injured snake. She takes him home at the prompting of her young miss.
Grateful, he offers to marry her after he takes on his human form. He quickly realizes that it is not merely gratitude, but true love. Unaware of human, or even otherworldly relationships, he naturally makes a hash of it, but tenaciously wears her down. Unfortunately fate, or more accurately the @#0!% In charge of fate, prevents this pair from making their desires a reality until the very end, forcing these lovers to only love at a distance. Yuchi keeps his virtue to the very end, remaining by her side when ever physically possible, and protecting her from those who only want to use her soul as a power source. He has to stand by in two of her lifetimes as she marries another as circumstances make those options the only ones that will allow her to continue living a natural life span.
Eventually the conspiracy is discovered, and justice is met.
The second leads own love story is just as sweet but somewhat less heartbreaking. The bromance between the ML and SML is also sweet and hilariously funny.
Some other reviews state it is a sad ending, but I found it to be hopeful as both the leads' souls survived with the possibility of reincarnation. It just misses the mark a little on a completely satisfying happily ever after. The 6 min special implies a 5th incarnation, as the FL is addressed as Princess Liuying before she meets up with ML who complains, "What took you so long."
